Hi,I made a search of that camera and I have never seen om many warnings for any camera before. Depending on firmware rtsp do not work and proprietary wiring, ..... interesting. I moved your posting to a new topic in Network Cameras so we get a fresh start.

Hello Henrik.I appreciate the fresh start. The problem I am having is the same one akarki had 2 years ago. Seems like is was never solved. And not surprisingly, it was also a Zmodo camera using RTSP. His camera used the same format as mine too:

rtsp://admin:111111@192.168.1.20:10554/tcp/av0_0

If you put that into VLC, video stream is perfect. In NetcamStudio steam continually freezes about every 10 seconds or so when Decoder is set to Software_Internal. As a contrast, it does the same thing in iSpy. Setting decoder to VLC in iSpy solved the issue, but iSpy is a big CPU hog in any setting and mostly unusable. NetcamStudio would be perfect, but Software_VLC doesn't seem to be working- gets stuck on the blue connecting screen.

I have tested the contection by opening a VLC window and Netcam window side by side. VLC is perfect, Netcam freezes (set at Software_Internal)......same as akarki stated 2 years ago.

Hi, thanks for your quick replythe UDP stream behaved the same as the TCP stream; freezing up every 5-10 seconds. I seems to buffer the frozen seconds and fast forwards to the current moment in time to catch up.

Cameras seem to be OK with multiple streams. I tested this just now by opening VLC on too different laptops. Identical streams were perfect on both laptops,

The previous thread suggested caching needed to be 1000ms. Anyway to try the adjustment on NCS?
